The funny thing is Tebow can be a useful NFL QB. It's just that teams right now seem to think they have better options. I'd disagree - there are plenty of guys on NFL benches Tebow is better than, as a QB. Add Tebow's athletic skills and versatility to that (because I'm sure he'd be willing to play a down or two in other roles to help the team) and it's odd how no team would at least want to make the guy a third-stringer.

There are plenty of QB that don't need to ever see the field. It kind of astounds me that teams using the read/option have pocket passer back-ups That's why I think Tebow/Young could still be NFL back-ups. That said, I don't think either of them are very bright so it's entirely possible that teams are saying "Dumbfucks can't be a our back-up!"

Actually, he is. A read/option guy doesn't have to complete 73% of his passes. He just needs to be able to hit open receivers consistently. Tebow seems to be a little lacking there but he could fill in for a half or a game without overhauling the entire offense because RGIII, Kap, Newton, etc, etc got dinged.

Seriously, look at the back-ups in the NFL. Do you want Derek Anderson behind the wheel? Mike Glennon? Tavaris Jackson? Dominique Davis? GTFO.

But, FWIW, I do understand why teams don't want Tebow on their bench. He has a following. As I've said, repeatedly, your #1 has to be a no-doubter and your coach has to be a "STFU, I decide who's QB" kind of guy. SF actually looks like a good fit but they have Colt McCoy.

Obviously some GMs agree with you but I think it's less talent-based and more "distraction" based. The favorite player on 90% of NFL teams is the back-up QB. IMO, teams are choosing to go with over-the-hill guys and not-so-talented young guys. Otherwise, you get situations like OAK and NYJ where you have the "QB controversy" that no one but Rex Ryan wants.
